Georgie, a brazen 13-year-old, has her life uprooted when she’s thrust into the guardianship of her half-sister Harper and torn away from her life in Vegas. Harper sees this turbulent time as a window of opportunity to pave a brighter future for her half-sister, but Harper’s self-righteous attempts to protect Georgie only lead to exposing their paralleled childhood wounds.

“...beautifully written and produced film of half-sisters from a perspective we don't always see. It’s insightful and, best of all, heart-breaking.” - Alan Ng, Film Threat
“The acting is as spot-on as the pacing, a story that lures us in and charms us up before delivering that cold slap of reality.” - Roger Moore, Movie Nation
